Before reaching a significant milestone in his illustrious cricket career, James Anderson engaged in a memorable conversation with Kuldeep Yadav, as he recently revealed. Anderson shared insights into this intriguing interaction during a podcast, shedding light on the moments preceding his 700th Test victim. Recollecting the events of the final day of the Dharamsala Test, Anderson recounted how Kuldeep, after edging a ball for a single, casually remarked as he reached the non-striker's end, "I'm going to be your 700th wicket." This statement, delivered in a light-hearted manner, showcased Kuldeep's intuitive jest rather than an intention to get out deliberately. Both Anderson and Kuldeep shared a laugh over the comment, highlighting the camaraderie and sportsmanship in cricket.

Anderson's milestone moment arrived when he managed to dismiss Kuldeep, etching his name in cricket history as the first-ever pacer to claim 700 wickets in the red-ball format. Reflecting on the match, Anderson also recalled his strategic sledding encounter with Shubman Gill, a key player for the Indian side. Amidst a challenging phase for the English team in the Dharamsala Test, with India's Rohit Sharma and Gill dominating the proceedings, Anderson attempted to disrupt Gill's concentration through verbal exchanges. He quipped about Gill's performance outside India, to which Gill retorted, "It's time to retire." However, Anderson's tactical play paid off when he managed to dismiss Gill shortly after their exchange, showcasing the mental battles that often accompany the physical contests in cricket.
